Bach Matthäus-Passion

A beautiful, sensitive, reverent performance. Fischer allows Bach to speak with no unnecessary flourishes. Padmore as the Evangelist is superb, and the other soloists and choirs are near perfect. And of course the Concertgebouw orchestral musicians are absolutely first class.

Cast: Mark Padmore, Peter Harvey, Maria Espada, Ingeborg Danz, Barbara Koselj, Henk Neven
